# Multi Column Format
The Multi Column Format (mcf) is the text format of the files used to represent textual and its annotations. Every line of an mcf corresponds to an atomic unit of text (abusively called word). Each column describes an attribute of the atomic token. Columns are separated by tab characters. The number of columns in an mcf is unbounded.
